Chiquitos used to be one of my favourite places, and my friends and I used to go every week for a meal, some nachos, a dessert or just drinks. However, I think we sickened ourselves with it, because now we like a change. We also weren't impressed by the menu change a few months ago.We do like the wraps - the Santa Fe wrap is filled with mexican rice, chicken, salsa, cheese and sour cream and the Barbecue Rib wrap is filled with strips of barbecue rib meat and cheese. I also like the fact that they serve a range of non-alcoholic cocktails, in case you don't fancy the usual coke or fruit juice, and the alcoholic cocktails are good too if you aren't driving.This Chiquito is in a convenient place, next to the cinema and the transport interchange at the Metro Centre, and is open until about 11pm, so you can pop in after you see a film (you also get 20% off the food bill Monday-Thursday when you show your cinema ticket).If you have room, or if you just fancy a dessert, the Pecan Pie is also worth a try!

Chiquito is my restaurant of choice in the metro centre. The restaurant is nicely themed and the lighting is good. The menu is alright, although I have visited Mexican restaurants with more variety. The lunch menu in particular could do with a few more dishes. The food is good, although I have not yet found a desert I really like. The staff are always very nice, but the toilets seriously need redoing and the tables not always as clean as they might be. However it is generally a nice restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, making it an excellent family restaurant, but one anybody of any age will enjoy.
